On Saturday, we had the opportunity to volunteer during SAP's Month of Service. Fernanda arranged for the group to meet at Aldeia da Fraternidade (Village of Brotherhood), a children's center that houses and cares for 300 local children. They have also extended their mission to assist at risk families with programs in education and social welfare to help promote stronger families.
There were two activity rooms in need of repainting. We provided a fresh two-toned look that hopefully will be appreciated by the kids - plus it will give them a new opportunity to make colorful handprints on the wall again.

Afterwards, we met for lunch and our respective clients and their families joined us. It was a great opportunity to meet everyone in a more informal setting. Brazilians place a lot of value on relationships in the workplace and socially, so this was a valuable time to make a lot of new friends.
